The fi rst information about the North Korean attack was sent by US Ambassador to Seoul John J. Muccio on Sunday, 25 June, in the morning hours of current local time, and arrived to the State Department at 9:26 PM.1 At that time, tops of the US administration were enjoying their weekend rest. Presi- dent Harry S Truman was fi nishing a late Southern dinner at his home in Inde- pendence (MO.), Secretary of State Dean Acheson was preparing to go to bed with a book in his favourite country house in Maryland. The top representatives of the Department of Defense were diffi cult to reach; Defense Secretary Louis John- son, Secretary of the Army Frank Pace, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Omar Bradley were visiting Tokyo. Warren Austin, the US Ambassador to the United Nations, who planned to spend a peaceful weekend with his family in Burlington, Vermont, was also out of reach of the centre.2 The analysis prepared 1 Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS), 1950, Vol. VII: Korea.

The Soviet representative had not been attending its meetings for some time, offi cially in protest against the perma- nent member seat reserved for China being held, even after the triumph of the Communists in the mainland China, by the government of the defeated President Chiang Kai-Shek.6 The Security Council indeed adopted a fast-track and fairly ex- plicit resolution stating that an armed attack from the north occurred and calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and a withdrawal of North Korean units beyond the 38th parallel. It also urged all UN member states to render every assis- tance to the United Nations in the execution of the resolution.7 The hectic Sunday was concluded by a collective dinner of key members of the administration

  • Rural Political Culture and Resistance in Postwar Czechoslovakia
    SVĚTLANA: RURAL POLITICAL CULTURE AND RESISTANCE IN POSTWAR CZECHOSLOVAKIA Mira Markham A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the History Department in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Chad Bryant Karen Auerbach Donald J. Raleigh © 2019 Mira Markham ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mira Markham: Světlana: Rural Political Culture and Resistance in Postwar Czechoslovakia (under the direction of Chad Bryant) This thesis examines the role of the wartime partisan movement in shaping anti- Communist resistance in Moravian Wallachia, a rural region in the easternmost corner of the Bohemian lands. The experience of partisan war in this region, as well as the prominence of former partisans in postwar public life, led to the development of a distinctive local political culture opposed to the bureaucratic power of the central state. Local grievances drove former partisans in Moravian Wallachia to mobilize networks and practices of resistance developed during wartime to challenge the consolidating Communist regime. Police agents also drew on partisan practices to reconstitute local opposition and resistance into a prosecutable conspiratorial network that could be understood within the framework of official ideology. Through the case of Světlana, a resistance network that emerged among former partisans in 1948, this paper situates both opposition and repression within a specific local context, demonstrating the complex interactions between state and society in the Czechoslovak countryside and providing a new perspective on the issue of anti-Communist resistance in Czechoslovakia during the Stalinist era.

  • Effects of Habsburg Educational Policies Measured by Census Statistics
    13.2 (2012): 373-393 UDC 37.014(436-89)=111 Original scientific paper Received on 30.03. 2012 Accepted for publication on 30.05. 2012 Pieter H. van der Plank University of Amsterdam Effects of Habsburg educational policies measured by census statistics This paper is dedicated to the multi-ethnic and multi-lingual Habsburg realm, in particular as regards school education, its effects and the census registration of linguistic qualities among its population. After almost a century of German lan- guage dominance, national revival of the Habsburg peoples forced school educa- tion to renounce the upbringing of a supra-national and linguistic uniform leader- ship. Secondary and higher education gradually chose to breed new nationally conscious elites in the variety of peoples, contributing to the decomposition of the realm. Nevertheless, promotion of the ‘national languages’ resulted in wide spread bilin- gualism, at least among the middle and higher classes. This bilingualism, how- ever, was restricted to the nationalities and not implemented to Austro-Germans and Magyars, who, in their own secondary educational institutions, stuck to a vir- tually unilingual practice, a fact that, in the end, weakened their political influ- ence. This inequality has to be taken into consideration when different school types are put in a contraposition. One of the most usual ways to investigate developments in the lingual capacity of the Habsburg subjects is found in the decennial censuses, but these are presented with rigid and dichotomous concepts, just describing ethno-lingual identities, however, aphoristically equated with political ‘nations’. This asks for clearer defi- nitions, and this paper advocates a critical reconsideration of national and linguis- tic concepts and definitions, as habitually used in Habsburg historiography.

FX’s Cold War period drama The Americans (2013-) is mentioned in just about every op-ed on US-Russia relations. In the case of the Prague Spring, this tectonic shift in modes and registers of representation is overlaid by a changing attitude toward the events of 1968. German historian Jan Pauer trenchantly remarks that the Prague Spring has been consistently fetishized by the West, while in the former Czechoslovakia, perception of the nascent liberalization of 1968 has changed over time.
